1. It´s getting late: The recovery from the Great Recession is already one of the longest economic expansions in American history. And recently the economic cycle has gone from humming along to booming. Unemployment is down to a 17-year low, small business sentiment is roaring, and economic growth hit the 3% mark twice last year. But economic expansions don´t last forever. A recession comes along eventually and ruins the party. Wall Street is already pondering the demise of this recovery, which in May would become the second-longest in history. Most economists and investors believe the U.S. economy is either in

Comments:How long before liberals are out walking around with ´´The End is Near´´ signs around their necks?

Including the Obama years in the recovery is like calling a packet of Tang an astronaut because it rode along in the Apollo spacecraft but so-called economists continue to do it.

If, technically, there was expansion it was solely due to Obama pouring ink and paper into the printing presses and handing cash to Wall Street. Meanwhile, businesses left and right closed up across the nation.

Recovery? While Obama was president, my income went down every year. And then I was laid off in 2016. Now I´m 60 and not employable in my field. Thanks, democrats. The economy´s best hope is under Trump.

None of the current growth in the economy is due to Obummer. Less regulation and impending tax cuts (crumbs) are driving this economy. Measuring inflation has been a joke for the past ten years, we had it but didn’t report it! The economy will grow with trump there will be bumps but lord knows it’s better than what we would have had!

CNN is DESPERATE for bad economic news, they pray for it (if they pray at all) and the are hoping to prove that tax cuts are a bad idea.

They are political animals, extreme leftists, and they are completely ignorant about economics. Actually, it is worse than lack of knowledge, they are Marxists, so what they "know" is dead wrong.

The tax cut will but a boost into the economy for quite some time, probably at least 10 years, basically as long as it takes the stupid little grabbers in Congress to nibble it away with "improvements" in the future which raise tax rates again.

I gave a speech once to a Lion´s Club meet about this very thing- The ups and downs of the stock market and the overall economy.

I drew a parabolic chart on the board and asked how many people know what that chart might represent. Some knew about from from long ago math classes but, in relation to the economy, they did not connect a meaning. I said, "This represents a nuclear chain reaction, a dam bursting, a discharge of a fire arm, an explosion- it is also a cancer chart- how the disease would progress if the patient did not eventually die of it. And it represents a stock market that wins all the time. It is runaway inflation, melting markets, and $6,000.00 apiece cigarettes."

If you take a look at the October to late December BitCoin chart, you will see this very type curve. When I saw it- I gasped also in astonishment and a bit of fear. If it continued much longer, it would quickly consume all the currency in the world! Obviously, someone big, probably a government, saw that, too and severly wounded the BitCoin market.

The rise and fall of any market is a good thing. Of course, you do not want a "crash" but you certainly want healthy growth. So, this stupid CNN article is merely that relaying a healthy market is a good thing. Sunny days in markets should not last forever. Healthy markets must always seek adjustment.

FTA: S&P Global Ratings said in a recent report that the current expansion has a "good chance" to stay alive until the summer of 2019 and become the longest ever."Barring a shock, this expansion has staying power," the firm wrote.

CNN provides this & other positive quotes about the economy but then twists its headline into a negative. No investor and no rational adult believes that the economy has straight line, uninterrupted growth. If Mueller had issued indictments of PDT, Melania and Baron on Friday rather than 14 Russian trolls who Mueller knows will never be extradited, CNN would have not had to struggle to turn a mediocre economic article into an anti Trump headline.

The democrat crepe-hangers just can´t stand that President Trump is making good things happen for America. They long for the days of massive government corruption and fraud against the taxpayer, which was assured- should Herself get elected.

The stock market always adjusts. It might dip or, in the event of some huge shock, drop precipitously. The economy itself is different. With the momentum it has under Trump, it won´t slow down for years.

Any number of things could derail us....a nuke attack, a giant asteroid, etc. All we can do is trust the Lord and keep our powder dry.

I started to read the article until `I reached the word " economist " , and then gave up. Most economists don´t live in the real World, nor do they forecast the future very well; some, in fact, are just plain wrong much of the time.

I´ll never forget that quote of the Obamunist when asked why the market tanked after his first election win. He said, "I have more important things to do than worry about the fits and starts of the stock market."

About 60 students from a Chicago high school used their time during the National School Walkout protest to wreak havoc at a Walmart, witnesses say -- and police are investigating. Walmart shoppers and store employees were stunned by the destruction allegedly inflicted by Simeon Career Academy students Wednesday morning, FOX 32 reported. “These guys jacked up our store pretty good,” one Walmart employee told conservative news site The Red Elephants. “They pounced on cars in the lot, vandalized two of the school buses parked there, threw Gatorade bottles at shoppers, smoke bombs, and we heard gun shots in the parking

A candid photo of former Vice President Joe Biden has been shared more than 100,000 times as the former running mate of President Obama considers his own presidential run. The photo was taken by Paul Equale, who posted it on Facebook on Friday afternoon. The photo is tagged at an AMC movie theater in the Georgetown nieghborhood of Washington, D.C. "Joe Biden took his granddaughter to the movies in Georgetown last night," Equale wrote. "On his way out he stopped to speak w/ a homeless man. A bystander took this candid shot. Character is about what you do when no

Tensions between Whole Foods Market and some of the most important brands it sells in its stores will come to a head on March 19, when they will congregate for a recently announced summit, sources familiar with the situation tell CNBC. The grocer notified certain vendors about the meeting by email last Saturday. It is set to reassure the brands of relations after Whole Foods´ sale to Amazon. It comes after a rocky few months for the grocer, which has been trying to shift from a local orientation to a national one, without sacrificing the selection and relations that set

FORT WORTH, Texas - Maybe it was a ripple. The blue wave many thought could hit Texas this primary election clearly didn´t materialize, but Democrats did turn out to vote, drawing their largest turnout in a non-presidential primary - more than 1 million voters - in decades. (Snip) Many Republicans posted on social media that they were busy working during early voting, but would show up at the polls on Election Day. And they did - in mass. By the time the polls closed, Republicans had cast a total of 1.5 million votes, nearly 700,000 of those on Election Day

You must always check the date on news stories popping up on Facebook. It’s embarrassing to register shock — James Garner dead? Oh no! — only to be informed that he passed away in 2014. So a week ago, when I noticed a CNN report headlined “Nation of Islam leader Farrakhan delivers anti-Semitic speech,” the first thing I did was see whether he delivered the speech in 2012 or 2002. I mean, talk about an evergreen headline, right? Feb. 25, 2018. Nation of Islam Saviours’ Day. In Chicago. Prompting me to then wonder if the local papers covered it. Nope.

An illegal immigrant charged with vehicular homicide in a fiery crash on a Colorado interstate bonded out of jail Saturday, a week after the deadly hit-and-run incident, despite being wanted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Ivan Zamarripa-Castaneda, 26, allegedly fled the scene of the accident on Interstate 70 involving a tractor-trailer that caught on fire last week, leaving the driver to die, according to the Denver Police Department. (Snip) "The Denver Sheriff Department will not honor civil detainers as it is considered unconstitutional," the agency said in a statement. ICE officials told Fox News last week they detain up

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she isn´t running for president in 2020. "I am not running for president in 2020," Warren told CNN´s Jim Acosta on Saturday. Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat and staunch critic of President Donald Trump, made the statement in an interview for CNN´s "State of the Union," scheduled to air at 9 a.m., ET, on Sunday. The lawmaker said the same thing to Chuck Todd of NBC News in an interview for "Meet the Press" when pressed about her Senate re-election campaign and her pledge to fulfill her six-year term. "For the people of Massachusetts, and for the

WASHINGTON — Bernie Sanders is back in the Senate minority. Hillary Clinton is selling books and playing with grandchildren. And the Democratic Party is still navigating the fallout from their bitter 2016 presidential nominating fight. The latest reminder came this week as party leaders failed to agree on how to reduce the influence of so-called "superdelegates" in picking Democrats´ next White House nominee. That class of party leaders — Democratic National Committee members, elected officials and others — overwhelmingly favored Clinton two years ago, inflaming Sanders backers who accused Democratic power players of stacking the deck. Democratic national Chairman Tom

The February jobs report is out and it’s a huge beat. In February, nonfarm payrolls grew by 313,000 and the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over the last three months, job gains have now averaged 242,000 per month. February’s payrolls gain was the largest since July 2016. February marks the fifth-straight month the unemployment rate has been at 4.1%, which is the lowest level since December 2000. Economists had expected the report to show nonfarm payrolls grew by 205,000 during the second month of the year with the unemployment rate falling to 4%.

A driver in New Jersey made a fatal mistake when he ignored a road closed barricade Thursday morning and drove on, only to run over live electrical wires downed by this week´s nor´easter storm. As 6ABC in Philly reports, the driver´s SUV erupted into flames in on Summit Avenue and Route 208 in Franklin Lakes just before 9 a.m., as the vehicle hit those live wires. In fact, the inferno was so bad, the driver had not been positively identified as of last reports. Fire totally gutted the vehicle, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation

A panel on MSNBC cheered the imminent demise of “old, kind of crusty” conservatives who support the Second Amendment and prevent young people from enacting gun control measures. Sunday on “AM Joy,” news anchor Joy Reid described conservatism as a “creepy, weird worldview” that “young people, who are a big, big cohort of the American population, do not share.” She asked her panel: “At some point, does the conservative media run out of viewers?” Kurt Bardella, a columnist for the Huffington Post, responded that there is “credence to the idea” that old conservatives, “through the process of evolution,” will “thankfully

Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Trump administration are going about the sanctuary city issue in the right way. The very idea of so-called sanctuary cities is offensive to a lot of law-abiding Americans. Taking action against the liberal politicians who want to give safe harbor to illegal immigrants is a slow, easy pitch from the Democrats, and Republicans everywhere should take advantage. (Snip) Open-border radicals in California and other liberal strongholds must be held accountable. Of course, liberals would have you believe that they are only interested in protecting the poor, the oppressed and the hardworking who have nowhere

Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg is accusing politicians of being the “b**ch of the NRA” in a new ad for the March for Our Lives protest. Hogg posted the video advertisement for the March 24 protest on his Twitter account, asking “#WhatIf we could go to school without fearing for our lives?” The video starts on an edgy note, with Hogg glaring into the camera and declaring, “What if our politicians weren’t the b**ch of the NRA?” “What if we all voted and said this was not okay?” he continued. “What if we stood up as Americans and fought for our freedom and our children’s lives? My name is David Hogg and I stand with

Barbra Streisand said she´s never suffered sexual harassment but has felt abused by the media. During a tribute to Streisand´s decades of TV music specials and other programs, producer and long-time admirer Ryan Murphy queried her about her career, the #MeToo movement and her aversion to interviews. ´Never,´ she replied when asked if she had been sexually mistreated. ´I wasn´t like those pretty girls with those nice little noses. Maybe that´s why.´ She acknowledged the power of protests against gender inequality sweeping through Hollywood and society.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) scolded President Trump for celebrating the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Friday night, telling him to “gloat now, but you will be fired soon.” “And it’s not going to be done cowardly, as you’ve done to so many who’ve served you,” Swalwell tweeted Saturday. “There’s a storm gathering, Mr. President, and it’s going to wipe out you and your corrupt organization all the way down to the studs.” (Snip) The Democrat, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, was responding to Trump’s tweet celebrating McCabe’s firing. Swalwell also tweeted on Friday night that

Hillary Clinton provided an explanation for some recent comments she made that she understood ´upset or offended´ some Americans – statements that drew criticism from fellow Democrats and the Trump White House alike. ´I understand how some of what I said upset people and can be misinterpreted. I meant no disrespect to any individual or group,´ she said in a Facebook post. ´And I want to look to the future as much as anybody.´ Clinton, on a trip to India, had talked about how her voters came from economically advantaged places in comparison to Trump voters, and also noted how white women

First there was the casual sexism: the reason white women didn’t back her when she ran for president, Hillary Clinton believes, is “a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.” Have you noticed that her sneering always seems to take the same form? She’s become the queen of the contemptuous listicle that tails off into a snarling “whatever.” Remember the formulation in the speech where she came up with the term “basket of deplorables?” “You could put half of Trump´s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Hillary said.

Democratic lawmakers have offered to hire fired former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe so that he can qualify for his pension. McCabe´s employment was terminated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions less than 48 hours before he would have qualified for his pension, a day that was also his 50th birthday. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., asked McCabe on Twitter to "call him." "I could use a good two-day report on the biggest crime families in Washington, D.C.," he wrote. Pocan was responding to a tweet by MSNBC journalist Andrea Mitchell, who said if a member of Congress were to hire him

A prominent Republican says that Donald Trump would doom his presidency if he fires special counsel Robert Mueller. Sen Lindsey Graham, during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union”, said that Mr Mueller is following the evidence where it takes him as he investigates Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election. Getting rid of Mr Mueller, the senator said, would be a step too far. “If he tried to do that, that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency, because we´re a rule of law nation,” Mr Graham said. ”I think it´s very important he be allowed to do

Republican Jeff Flake delivered a speech Thursday at the annual ´Politics and Eggs´ event at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. Flake said that during the administration of President Donald Trump, conservatives were an endangered species and the Republican Party had surrendered to a "propaganda-fueled dystopian view." Flake, who recently called for a 2020 Republican primary challenger against President Trump, is in the group of people who might do just that. "I haven´t ruled it out," he told CNN later in this same day. "I stand before you today the rarest of species," the retiring moderate Republican

Armed sheriff´s deputies appeared on the scene of the recent school massacre in Florida while kids were still being murdered inside. But the deputies failed to storm the building to apprehend the killer, to rescue the assaulted, to stop the bleeding and to comfort the dying. They failed to do their jobs. Instead, they cowered behind their patrol cars waiting for, well, apparently waiting for the shooting to stop. Some 150 bullets and 17 lives later, it finally did and the killer walked away. Only then did the deputies enter the building. About that, President Donald Trump characteristically said what he thought. He

AN EXPLOSIVE new book has lifted the lid on the extraordinarily pampered life of luxury enjoyed by Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. The Prince is accustomed to travelling with his own very specific creature comforts, according to Rebel Prince: The Power, Passion and Defiance of Prince Charles by Tom Bower. The book describes how, before a visit to a friend in North-East England, he despatched his staff ahead a day early with a truck carrying Charles and Camilla’s complete bedrooms, including the Prince’s orthopaedic bed along with his own linen. His staff had also pack a small

As free agency kicked off the start of a new football season, the NFL sent a clear message to anyone paying attention: Colin Kaepernick, you´re still not wanted. Probably not ever. Oh, and while we´re at it, it´s pretty clear the owners have every intention of clamping down on any other players who tries to carry on Kaepernick´s legacy. Rattled by another big dip in the television ratings and an increasing number of empty seats, the league seems determined to banish peaceful protest from the playing field. While it´s quite a stretch to say those trends are intimately related —

Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, said he was uncomfortable with how the FBI´s former deputy director, Andrew McCabe, was fired on Friday. ´I don´t like the way it happened,´ Rubio said Sunday on Meet the Press. ´He should´ve been allowed to finish through the weekend.´ Attorney General Jeff Sessions decided to fire McCabe a little over 24 hours before his 50th birthday, which was the day he planned to officially retire from government service and would be eligible for his pension. (Snip) Rubio suggested that if the report would have indicated ´wrongdoing or something that was actionable´ than actions could have
